You don't do "caths by yourself" and you don't "stand in one place for hours" I actually work in the lab, do you? I don't stand-at all. I work. Nonstop. Sometimes through the night. 12 hours...

I hadn't even applied for my WA license when I was offered a position. Luckily, WA gets a temp license out PDQ. And it lasts a good while. The reg license takes a while. And it's somewhat of a...

Yes. That's the exact purpose of the GI cocktail. It will take down any GI related pain and help differentiate the location of the pain (cardiac vs GI) It's gross. If you ever give one to your...

Wow. This is a mess. None of it makes any real sense.

There's plenty of posts on here where we talk about a typical day for a cath lab nurse...but I will just say this: it is not an appropriate place for a new nurse. You will be running the balloon...

Is tacky. Also-Swedish is big. If they tag your file as someone who was hired and immediately quit, then you may have burned that bridge. Don't forget Swedish is "affiliated" with Prov too....

I work cath lab...so I work all shifts.I prefer my STEMIs at 2am. The drive home is peaceful, the hospital is asleep and quiet, the lights are low...it's nice.

Not true. At all... Good to hear! Thx for the update...

Change specialities! I love my doctors, my supervisors, my team-mates, my patients and my job. Could do withouth all the call though! But I am busy, respected, and treated right. What I...

I understand your love for Seattle. I agree with ruby slippers though. Get that first year in at mayo and then you'll be a shoe in for jobs later. All people care about is that precious one year...

Hmm. I dunno what to tell you. I've seen plenty of jobs at the local hospitals. I applied for 3 different ones a few months ago, and got three job offers within a few weeks. (and I'm nothing special,...

1. Dunno about that one... 2. You are one step above the years of experience that you have, a new grad is step 1, 1 yr exp is step 2, etc... 3. If you hate traffic, Seattle is NOT for you!...

RCIS...

Respectfully, none of this is true. I had multiple offers as an out of state (and with NO WA license) applicant. Multiple. As far as the market here is concerned, I have had a job offer at...

Also Evergreen. Don't forget to include parking costs in your pro/con list...

Hopefully, your boyfriend has at least: Epic experience or a minimum of a bachelors degree. Otherwise, he doesn't stand a chance. Remember, this is the home of Microsoft....the IT field here is VERY...

Nope!

He was increasing his troponins and having CP.Either his st segment was elevated or not. Either way, hes earned a trip to the cath lab...

It's all OJT. Be quick, anticipate, know your doc.

God no! I've got multiple ways to contact them and they have always been quick to return calls, or visit our facility!

I've had nothing but support and help when I needed my union (seiu1199). I wouldn't call them worthless, at all...

I don't even think the market is that tight (for experienced RNs). I've applied at a few positions lately and have received offers each and every time. One time, I had an interview and offer within...

6 shifts a month sounds heavenly!! Yup. Sounds about right...

I'm suprised. Basically, this is common sense, and I'm suprised that using a filter needle is even a question. Yes, you're breaking glass, you need up to use a filter needle. This was taught to...

No, and no. And we have some who use the radial approach for STEMIs. They don't need a site rite that's for sure. My last lab didn't use a site rite for radial approach either, or use any pads. Must...
